If a tools page is auto-hidden (because it is currently unpinned, see pinning and unpinning tools pages, below), then it will only appear as a tab at the side of your screen. Toggle layout buttons on each of the tools pages allow you to switch the interface as your focus naturally shifts from the design stage to the toolpathing stage of your project.

#VECTRIC VCARVE PRO 8.5 PRO#

VCarve Pro includes two default layouts, one for designing and one for machining, which can automatically and conveniently set the appropriate auto-hide behavior for each of the tools pages. The Drawing, modeling, clipart, Layers and Toolpath tool pages have Auto-Hide / Show behavior which allows them to automatically close when not being used, thus maximizing your working screen area.

If you wish to see the 2D and 3D views simultaneously, or you wish to switch your focus to the Toolpaths tab at a later stage of your design process, you can use the interface layout buttons (accessible in the 2D View Control section on the Drawing Tab) to toggle between the different preset interface layouts.

The 3D View is where the composite model, toolpaths and the toolpath preview are displayed.

This occupies the same area as the 3D View and the display can be toggled between the two using F2 and F3 or the tabs at the top of the window. The 2D Design window is where the design is drawn, edited and selected ready for machining.ĭesigns can be imported or created directly in VCarve Pro. The bottom half shows you toolpaths that you have already created. The Top section of the toolpaths tab houses all of the icons to create, edit and preview toolpaths. The Toolpath Tab is on the right side of the screen. The 3D Clipart allows simple graphical access to any 3D models that are installed on your computer and the Layers tab allows easy management of layers in the job. On the modeling tab are all the tools that relate to the management and manipulation of 3D components, as well as the Component Tree, which shows you the 3D components and allows you to define how they are combined to form the final composite 3D model.

On the Drawing tab you will find the tools for creating, editing, sizing and alignment of vectors.
